The new season of The Ultimate Fighter starring Conor McGregor will premiere on May 30th.
The Dubliner will feature on the latest season as a coach of 'Team McGregor' as he leads his squad against 'Team Chandler,' coached by future opponent Michael Chandler.
McGregor and the 36-year-old veteran are due to face each other later this year in the Irishman's comeback fight.

Announcing the release date, the official UFC page posted the following on Twitter:
"Let the countdown begin...
"We're officially ONE MONTH away from the premiere of #TUF31!"
This will be McGregor's second time coaching on The Ultimate Fighter as he famously coached opposite Urijah Faber back in 2015 just weeks after beating Chad Mendes to win the interim Featherweight World Championship.
McGregor and 'The California Kid' never faced each other in a UFC fight as is tradition with TUF coaches, but the 34-year-old is scheduled to fight Michael Chandler later this year.
However, no date, venue or weight-class for the bout has been confirmed.
Should McGregor return to Dana White's promotion later this year, it will mark his first fight since he suffered a horrific leg injury in defeat to Dustin Poirier back at UFC 264 in July 2021.
